Mexico Rejects Talk Gen. Kelly Saw Mexico on Verge of Collapse

Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said on Friday the White House had denied that U.S. President Donald Trump's Chief of Staff John Kelly had said Mexico was on the "verge of collapse", referring to a U.S. media report earlier this week.

"It would be clearly contrary to everything that we have heard and know of General Kelly in these past months," he added.
